Please help me mount my data HD

[Edgar Sarino]

To ubuntu-users,

Greetings.  I am new to ubuntu, but I thought that I would give it a try.

I have a Dell Precision with two SCSI HDs - a 36 GB HD (onto which I installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) and a data 137 GB HD, which I left alone.  I thought that the installer would automatically reformat both drives - instead, it left the 137 GB HD alone, and when I try to access it or view it, I get an error message which states that the drive has the NTFS file system and is therefore umountable.

Question: How do I reformat the drive, and/or make the drive mountable?

Thanks for your attention to this matter.
